How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kirk Sandall
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Kirk Sandall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

Common questions in Kirk Sandall
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
